3 of the best HTC Wildfire Accessories

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

The HTC Wildfire will be finding it’s way into the hands of several new owners this Christmas.

If you’ve got/are getting one, there are a few Wildfire accessories you’ll want to invest in – a HTC Wildfire Screen Protector, HTC Wildfire Cover and a spare HTC Wildfire Charger so that you can keep it charged at work.

HTC Wildfire Screen Protector SP P380 – Twin Pack

If you’re only going to buy one accessory for your Wildfire then it really should be a screen protector. The screen is the most likely part of the handset to get scratched and if you damage it,you could render your phone unusable. This screen protector by HTC is made specifically for the Wildfire and is a perfect fit. It doesn’t interfere with the sensitivity of the screen or the controls at the bottom of the screen.

HTC Micro USB Mains Charger

Ask any smartphone owner about their battery life and you’ll get a pretty negative response. The battery in the Wildfire out performs those in a number of other smartphones, including the HTC Desire but it’s still going to drain quickly – especially if you start using any GPS or video apps. The easiest way to solve this is to get yourself a second mains charger that you can carry around with you or leave at work.

FlexiShield Skin For The HTC Wildfire – Black

Our best value case, the Flexishield is similar to a crystal case but with the durability and flexibility of silicone.  They keep your Wildfire protected from knocks and bumps, without adding too much bulk to the handset. They have cut outs for all the buttons and ports on the side of the phone as well as the camera on the back.

5 Great HTC Wildfire Accessories for under £15

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

The Wildfire has been out for around 6 months now and it’s still one of the most popular smartphones out there. It’s relatively low price point makes it a great choice if it’s your first smartphone/touchscreen handset. With prices starting at £225 sim free, £150 on pay as you go and free on a £15 a month contract, the Wildfire will no doubt be extremely popular over the Christmas period.

If you’re looking for HTC Wildfire accessories to compliment your phone, or for a gift this Christmas you’re in the right place. There are hundreds of HTC Wildfire Cases, HTC Wildfire Covers and HTC Wildfire Chargers to choose from over on the main site, but I thought I’d highlight a handful of some of the best accessories that you can get for less than £15.

HTC Wildfire Pouch – PO S530

To keep costs down, HTC aren’t putting a carry case in the box with the Wildfire. Dents, scuffs and knocks really spoil the appearance of your phone so a case is a must have item. The PO-S530 from HTC has been made specifically for the HTC Wildfire and is a soft leather pouch that has a soft microfibre lining to keep your screen free from fingerprints.

HTC CC C200 Micro USB Car Charger

Ask any smartphone owner to tell you about one thing that could be improved and they’ll probably tell you the battery life. The Wildfire’s battery isn’t too bad, but start using your phone for any GPS based function like sat nav and you’ll see the battery levels drop through the floor!

HTC CC C200 Micro USB Car Charger

If you are planning on using the Wildfire in the car, then this HTC Wildfire Car Charger is worth getting. As with every other car charger out there, it plugs in to the cigarette lighter in the car and connects to your phone. What makes it a bit different though is that it has a standard USB port on it that allows you to charge any portable device that you’ve got a USB cable for.

HTC Wildfire Screen Protector SP P380 – Twin Pack

The best way to keep your phone looking like new without the added bulk of a case is to fit a Wildfire screen protector. A screen protector is a slightly thicker, more durable plastic film than the one that’s on your phone when you buy it. They last a long time and are great at protecting against scuffs and scratches. They’re fitted in seconds and can be removed easily, without leaving any sticky residue behind.

HTC RC E160 Music Stereo Headset Remote Control

The Wildfire can take memory cards up to 32GB in size, making it a great alternative to carrying around a separate MP3 Player. This headset features an inline remote that allows you to play/pause and track skip without having to touch your phone.

HTC Wildfire Desktop Charging Cradle

My biggest pet hate about charging my phone is that I can never remember where I last had my charger. This Desk charger solves that problem. It can be connected to either your PC or a power supply and can be left in place so that you have somewhere dedicated to charge your phone. If you connect it to your PC it will also sync your phone while it’s charging.

5 Must Have Accessories for the HTC Wildfire

Monday, July 12th, 2010

The HTC Wildfire is the baby brother to the HTC Desire. Visually they look quite similar, but when you look a little closer you’ll spot a few key differences. The Wildfire has a slightly smaller, lower resolution screen, that doesn’t drain your battery so quickly, touch sensitive controls and is generally smaller and lighter.

Whether you’re upgrading from an older Android phone such as the Hero or Tattoo, or if you’re new to Android and touch screen phones, the Wildfire is an excellent choice of handset.

You get a few Wildfire Accessories in the box to start you off, but if you really want to make the most of the phone, there are a number of accessories that are well worth investing in. Here are my top 5 accessories for the HTC Wildfire.

1. HTC Wildfire Screen Protector

If you’re only going to invest in one accessory for your Wildfire then it really needs to be a screen protector. The screen on your phone is the most vulnerable part of the handset, damage it and it could render your phone useless. This screen protector is made by HTC specifically for the Wildfire and is a perfect fit. It doesn’t interfere with the touch sensitive controls at the bottom of the screen or the earpiece at the top of the display.

2. HTC PO S530 Carry Pouch

Another accessory from HTC that’s made specifically for the Wildfire is the PO S530 Carry Pouch. What makes this one stand out is the built in pull strap. When your phone is in the case the strap tucks in and prevents your phone from falling out, but when you want to remove your phone, just give the strap a gentle tug and it will raise your phone from the case quickly and effortlessly. The case is made from a high quality leather and has a soft interior that helps keep the screen clean and prevent scratches.

3. HTC CC C200 Car Charger

Ask any smartphone owner about their battery life and you’ll be met with a pretty negative response. Even though the battery in the Wildfire out performs that of the HTC Desire, it’s still going to drain quickly as soon as you start using your phone in the car with any GPS apps  - Sat Nav in particular.

The HTC CC200 is a genuine HTC accessory that will keep your Wildfire charged in the car. Unlike some cheaper car chargers, the CC200 is powerful enough to charge the phone even when it’s being used for GPS.

4. Sandisk 16GB Memory Card

The 3.5″ screen on the Wildfire is great for looking at photo’s, watching movies and playing games, but the limited internal memory means that you’re not going to be able to store much on the phone without replacing the memory card. The HTC Wildfire supports memory cards of up to 32GB in size, but considering the processing power of the phone I’d suggest sticking to 16GB for now.

5. Sony Ericsson MW600 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

You might think it strange to see a Sony Ericsson headset in a list of accessories for a HTC phone, but the truth is this is one of the best bluetooth headsets available at the moment. It’s incredibly compact and is designed to be either hung around your neck or clipped on to your clothing.

The main body of the headset packs a lot in to a small space. It’s a multipoint headset that allows you to use it with a phone and a music device at the same time. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack so that you can use any standard 3.5mm headphones with it. What really makes it stand out though is the built in FM Radio.  Smart phone users have been crying out for an FM radio to be added to the phones, but the manufacturers seem to be ignoring their requests.

These are just a handful of the accessories available for the HTC Wildfire so if you’ve not seen anything here that does what you want, don’t worry, just head over to our HTC Wildfire Accessories page where you’ll be able to view hundreds of products to help you make the most of your phone and keep it looking at its best.
